Envoys of Côte d’Ivoire, Poland, Britain and the U.S. diplomatic missions have praised Nigeria’s strategic approach to nationwide protests.
The envoys disclosed this in separate remarks on Wednesday in Abuja when foreign affairs minister Yussuf Tuggar briefed heads of diplomatic missions on the protests.
Kalilou Traore, ambassador of Côte d’Ivoire, commended Mr Tuggar for the initiative to update the diplomats on the protests, saying it will help tackle the spread of fake news.
According to him, Mr Tuggar’s explanation will help them finalise their respective reports to be sent to the various country capitals.
Stanislaw Gulinski, charge d’Affairs of the Poland Embassy in Nigeria, commended the ministry for the information about the protest. The envoy fielded questions to authenticate issues that surrounded the arrest of Seven Polish citizens during the protests in Kano.
Richard Montgomery, British high ocmmissioner to Nigeria, commended the security agency’s strategic approach to arrest the situation and underscored the need for sustainable peace-building amidst the protests.
The U.S. ambassador to Nigeria, Richard Mills, thanked Mr Tuggar for the knowledge shared about the protests, saying, “I also want to use this platform to express my embassy’s condolences for the loss of lives and sufferings Nigeria have seen over the past days.
“We understand the difficulty that the reforms President Tinubu’s administration has undertaken. We know that these reforms are necessary, and we have supported and worked with the administration as they have carried us along.”
Salaheddine Ibrahim, high commissioner of Cameroon and dean of the diplomatic corps, expressed gratitude to the minister for the initiative to put an interactive session together.
According to him, it should be organised often to provide diplomats with the right information about what happens in Nigeria.
